I'm sure you're posting in good faith. The problem is that we don't
know anything about your system without your telling us, and when
what you report doesn't seem likely, then it helps if you would
post some uninterpreted evidence.
That's why I asked you to post the output of this command:
ls --full-time /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/
The dates and sizes of the files will help us determine whether
the /etc/sudoers file has been edited, and by whom¹. Since around
the time of squeeze, this file should never require editing on
99% of Debian systems, on account of its last line and the
existence of the /etc/sudoers.d/ directory.
If you don't post some evidence like that, then it's difficult for
me to believe other than that you misunderstood the choices you made
with the root password/ability for root to login, and tried to
compensate by using, unfortunately, the wrong commands and actions,
which made it harder to understand the problem.
¹ Note that it is always most helpful to cut and paste the
actual commands and their responses into your posts,
obviously mangling any confidential bits.
Cheers,
David.
